(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mikael]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050306 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050306 Firefox/1.0.1

bash-2.05b$ firefox
No running windows found
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 99 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

2. click the link "Spurtade sig till seger i Mora"

i removed the composite extension in X, now it doesnt crash anymore. I have
really no idea why that would interfear with firefox. I'm really sorry, but i
guess its not a bug in firefox after all.
